Can you name some fighters who need to give retirement some serious thought?

I honestly think that the only thing keeping Couser in the ring is his dead on resemblence to Tyson...down to the Towel and all black.I think hes milked it too death .Good call on Polo Perez...thats just sad.

Id add Kevin Kelly.This guy would be an outstanding commentator or trainer type.Others might have a very hard time getting a word in edge wise though.

Oscar Larios....this guy should NOT be fighting.All heart,blood and guts...but I think hes gambling with health......Chris Byrd,Vivian Harris....I think both are showing big signs of being all shot to pieces.Buddy told me he read that Stevie Johnston was fighting again,God I hope not!!That last KO was absolutly scary,just savage

Kevin Kelly is still active?

Has Tommy Hearns retired? I know he has not fought since 2006 but did he ever announce retirement? I know he said he retired in 2000.

Yeah he has, although someone mentioned he may comeback. He could certainly still probably outbox Valuev only to be robbed on the cards.

I'd like to add Marco Antonio Barrera into the mix. Nowhere left to go he should just call it a day & enjoy his retirement, I'm not letting the cut in the Khan fight disguise that he's done

Wayne McCullough was a very entertaining fighter, big heart, very good chin and stamina, but it’s the time for him to hang up the gloves.

agreed


When a fighter is in his late 30s, has had his best years behind him and trying to climb a mountain that just isnt reachable anymore its always very dangerous.

Wayne has his fingers in so many pies it`d be so unfortunate if he did end up taking 1-2 more hidings just for the sake of it rather than getting out now.


Vitali Klitschko coming back made sense on so many fronts because apart from his brother even at 37 odd nobody in the division could hurt him and money was there to be made.

But with guys like Wayne you genuinely fear your going to pick up a paper and find out that something within his brain has been detected that shouldnt be there and think if only...

Anthony Bonsante

I feel for holyfield he is fighting to pay off depts and plus his 11 kids if he got one big payday he probably would call it a day.

Here are a few:

1) Cliff "Black Bull" Couser-26-20. Lost 10 of his last 11, 8 by stoppage

2) Marteze "Too Sweet" Logan is no longer sweet. he is at 26-35-2 and has lost 10 of his last 11. He even lost to Anthony Bowman, 7-27-2 coming in.

3) Etianne Whitaker 33-31-2. Started out well, but has now lost 20 of his last 22, 16 by stoppage

4) Omar Sheika, decent record but in too many wars and too inactive. Now appears used up. Get out while you can.

5) Yori Boy Campas-92-14. Seems determined to get 100 wins, but has lost 4 of last 5 and needs to assess whether it's worth the risk

6) Ben Tackie- 29-11-1. Never has been stopped but that might be his Achiles Heel. Has fought an incredubly high level of opposition and has lost 5 in a row.

7) Hicklet Lau- El Marielito is now at 20-18-2, has lost 15 of last 18

Juan Polo Perez-46-46-4 has lost 24 of last 25. Time to quit as a 500 hitter.

9) Otis Tisdale-25-22. At age 40, Time to leave

10) Marcus Rhode, 34-37. "The Big Tuna gets canned every time he steps up. Time to step out.

11) Donnie Penalton, has not won in his last 34 outings! Now at 13-166-6. This is not a good thing.

12) Cerrone Fox. Won his first 7 all by stoppage. Then lost his next 9 of 10, 7 by stoppage. On verge of becoming useful fodder.

In my opinion; no specific order, just wish they would go away for good already.


1.John Ruiz
2.Oscar DLH
3.Antonio Tarver
4.Chris Byrd
4.Vernon Forrest
5.Chavez Jr.
6.Sammuel Peters
7.Eddie Chambers
8.Sergio Mora
9.Winky Wright
10.Margacheato-Cause he's an ambarrasment to the sport.

As hard as it is to believe,yes.He had a fight months ago he should have got the nod in Imo but he got staggered bad in the process.His days of punching as fast as he can talk are long gone
